Traveller’s tale: The inside walls of the palace are illustrated with the Hindu mythological story of the Ramayana. Life size, wall after wall is covered with the epic story. It has amazingly intricate detailing. Partly painted in gold, the murals reflect light. Ethereal!

Traveller’s tale: The carved wooden posts are displayed at the National Folk Museum of Korea. Their traditional role is to ward off evil spirits and thereby protect the village. Today, they are used mainly for decorative purposes. For more information on these objects, please read – Fascinating Physogs.
